Trump team makes legal bid to block all THREE recounts as lawyers for the president-elect call Jill Stein suit a 'farce' - and massive Wisconsin effort nets Clinton just ONE vote

Donald Trump is pushing to block a total vote recount in Michigan and Pennsylvania

Trump's lawyers blasted Green Party candidate Jill Stein's call for the recount; they described it as 'insulting', 'lawless' and a 'farce'

Called Stein a 'bottom-dwelling candidate' who was 'no more than a blip on the electoral radar'

In Michigan the state attorney general is trying to stop the recount, which he says 'abuses the intent of Michigan law'

It was due to get underway on Friday, but Trump's push has delayed count

Trump's supporters filed a federal suit to stop the Wisconsin recount Donald Trump and his backers have launched formal legal bids to stop recounts in, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that are being pushed for by failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Lawyers for Trump's campaign have entered arguments in Pennsylvania and Michigan - calling Stein's quest a 'farce' - and in the latter, the state attorney general has filed to stop the recount effort he says 'abuses the intent of Michigan law'.

Trump's supporters are taking legal action in Wisconsin where a third recount effort is underway.

Only one Wisconsin county had turned in its new tally on Thursday. Trump lost two votes and Hillary Clinton lost one, netting one additional vote for the Democratic candidate.

This is ridiculous. Hillary has to win all 3 to turn the election. The idea that it is even occurring is almost like them looking for a place to insert Hillary votes. Nothing would surprise me.

I also believe they are looking for "HOW TO" rig it.....besides the medias FAKE polls.

If Bush v Gore is the standing precedent then the
courts are going to have to side with Trump.

Its probably going to end up in the US Supreme Court and there will be a 4-4 tie and the recounts will continue.

DIMs/LIBs are insufferable. Stakes need to meet those black hearts. That’s the only way short of nuking them from orbit. What useless lunatics.

Name calling (farce) usually happens when one has a bad case. These attorney’s make me nervous.

This isn't like the phony 2000 recount crap; NO WAY can Trump lose those three states...even with newly found, "surprise" votes....NONE! Ergo, no way would it EVER get anywhere even remotely close to the Supreme Court.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
